| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThrow Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman and Bill Murray together in a Universal Pictures movie and what do you get? Something that starts off at a beautiful clip before back-pedaling like crazy into a risk-free happy ending. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris Hicks[The film] shifts in tone that are too stark, scenes that are too dark, sex that is too explicit and a violent fist-fight showdown that becomes more of a letdown. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe great satisfaction of Mad Dog and Glory is watching Mr. De Niro and Mr. Murray play against type with such invigorating ease. Each is the other's straight man, a relationship that is hilariously set up in the initial encounter of the cop and the hoodlum. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMad Dog and Glory is one of the few recent movies where it helps to pay close attention. Some of the best moments come quietly and subtly, in a nuance of dialogue or a choice of timing. The movie is very funny, but it's not broad humor, it's humor born of personality quirks and the style of the performances. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranMad Dog and Glory, thankfully, finds the director in remarkable form, crafting an engrossing new film out of what might have been, in less competent hands, simply another Hollywood formula movie. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesA terrific little comedy, as well as a showcase for screenwriter Richard Price's incomparable ear for dialogue. |

| Independent (UK)Adam Mars-JonesThese are all talented people, but on this project they seem oddly divided, within themselves as well as from each other. |

| Wall Street JournalJulie SalamonIt's the rapport between the two actors, De Niro and Murray, that saves Mad Dog and Glory from being something less than just another buddy movie. Their real-life friendship spills over into this jittery, very funny look at the male bonding experience. |
